First time on msfs 2020.
Literally just got a new PC, installed msfs for the first time about an hour ago.
Sat in my seat, trusty t-flight hotas in front of me and launched msfs.
Set all the settings and got to the front screen.
Chose to do the flight training. Training 1 in sedona was fine. All went well.
Chose to do training 2 and this is where it went a little awry.
I choose ‘ready to fly’. I’m put in the cockpit with the reassuring message popping up “The instructor is flying the aircraft”. Good old Jess. I like her. I’m starting to feel an affinity toward her.
Trouble is, all of my controls are locked out and good old Jess is losing altitude fast. No matter how much I pull back on the stick or try to add thrust, the altimeter just keeps on falling.
Now either Jess isn’t the top gun pilot she claims to be or there’s something wrong.
I’ve tried this second training 5 times now and the same things happens each time. Altitude drops until we plough into the very nicely recreated buildings.
I wondered if the same would happen if I went back to do the first training again. Nope, Jess does a great job of not killing us all while I test out the cameras.
I mean, this couldn’t possibly be a bug. It’s too obvious - so what am I doing wrong? I literally havent done anything. It’s all completely default.
I haven’t taken a video yet because I’m assuming it’s something stupid I’m doing. Trouble is, I can’t see what. She should be flying the plane.
Help.
